This will be a brief post.

We had an excellent trip back to Amarillo for Thanksgiving.  It was especially nice getting to see all our family, many of which hadn't seen Kennedy since late August.  Keith took some photos of our get together.  We have a few posted below.

When we returned, we met up with many folks from Rachel's family who happened to be in the DFW area for the holiday.  We had a chance to meet Dylan for the first time and it was fun getting the kiddos together.  Dylan taught us something new.  He really seemed to get a good laugh from seeing someone drop something from their head.  On Sunday, we tried it with Kennedy and it seemed to have the same effect on her.  Here are a couple of sample videos that  show Kennedy laughing and giggling.

Rolling at night

Alright folks.  This will be another quick post.

This week, Kennedy started rolling over repeatedly in her crib at night. She now ends up on her belly more times than not so we had to remove the rolled up blanket from her swaddle.

We've also had some sickness around the house.  On Monday evening, Jason came down with the stomach flu.  He even had to take off work on Tuesday.  Kennedy still has her upper respiratory infection and Rachel has come down with a sinus infection.  Perhaps a little sickness is to be expected as the season changes.

We're also getting ready and looking forward to Thanksgiving.

Here are a few videos from the week:

Another Week in the Books

This was a relatively calm week for us so we don't have too much to report on.  We both had a good week at work.  

On Friday, Kennedy's school offered to watch the kiddos while the parents went on a date night.  We took them up on their offer and went out for a nice dinner in Fort Worth.  We ate on the patio of an italian restaurant.  Jason really enjoys Forth Worth and would sign up to move there if he could.

On Saturday, we had some friends over for dinner.  Kennedy didn't feel 100%.  She kept spitting up her milk.  She has had some drainage and we think that the mucus didn't sit well on her tummy.    

Here's a couple of pictures from the weekend.  We hope that you have a great week ahead.

Little Developments

Howdy Folks,

On Monday, we celebrated Halloween with many of the neighbors.  We all met for our usual neighborhood stroll, but this time we had all the kiddos in costume.  The infants didn't trick or treat, but the older kids got to go take advantage of all the candy.  We put Kennedy in her lion costume again and got some photos of her in front of the decorative yard display.

This week, Kennedy continued to show development.  We've started to notice that she is focusing in on small objects near her face.  She has a little play mat and she really focuses in on the little toys we have attached overhead.  In fact, she has even been reaching out to grab them.  It's fun to see her starting to develop her hand-eye coordination.  She also has a little toy that we attached to her carseat and on Saturday, when we went to the bank, we could hear her pulling on the toy which makes a clicking sound when you pull it.  Funny how we get so excited about little developments that would have normally seemed very ordinary.

It's been breezy lately and Kennedy has taken note.  When we go outside and the wind is blowing, she sticks her tongue out.  You can tell that she likes the sensation on her tongue.  We were out and about on Saturday and were able to capture her with her tongue out.
